The miracle that has been recognized, as reported by Vatican News, is the healing of an unborn baby from "thrombosis and complete calcific occlusion of the fetal left umbilical artery with extensive placental infarction and plurifocal villous alterations such as from hypoxemia as well as extremely serious intrauterine fetal growth retardation associated on condition of brain sparing». Informed of the very serious situation faced by a mother from Rimini, the Superior General of the Congregation of the Daughters of Santa Maria di Leuca started a prayer novena in the various communities to ask for a miracle through the intercession of the Foundress. Prayers accompanied the entire pregnancy and the baby was born on March 19, 2018 in good condition.
